Chapter 375: The Husky Reappears in the Jianghu

"Woof?"

Taozi only felt pitch black before its eyes, and couldn't help but twist and struggle.

"Shh..."

The little girl covered its eyes with both hands, her voice pressed very low, yet her tone was full of seriousness: "You can't look. If you see Brother-in-law and Sister being awkward, they won't take you along when they go out to play in the future."

"Woof?"

Taozi gradually grew quiet.

A moment later—

The little girl held a cup of water, standing in the doorway basking in the sun.

Taozi also brought its head over to a small bowl, continuously sticking out its tongue, lapping up the water with a *slurp slurp* sound.

In the courtyard, the two people remained snuggled on the swing, chatting in low voices.

"Earlier, Chen Banxia went to help Zhang Suannai revise her thesis, and even said her thesis was written quite well; the advisor was even shocked," Chen Shu said to Ning Qing.

"Her thesis is indeed written very well." Ning Qing was still looking down at her Mobile Phone, then suddenly moved, threading one hand through the inside of Chen Shu's arm, holding his hand like that while continuing to lean against him, holding the Mobile Phone, and also continued, "I took a look; aside from the formatting being very messy, the content is very good."

"I couldn't tell she had this ability."

"In Sword Dao and combat, she is a genius to begin with."

"Did you buy it?"

"I bought it."

"How many stalks did you buy?"

"Two stalks."

"Then why are you still looking..."

"Just looking at the others."

"The weather is getting warmer and warmer."

"So?"

"I can wear shorts and skirts again."

"..."

"Oh, right! Let me ask what Chen Banxia is doing!" Chen Shu suddenly pulled out his Mobile Phone.

Ning Qing tilted her head slightly to look at his Mobile Phone.

This person had set a unique chat background for everyone he was close to. This photo of Chen Banxia had been taken several years ago; if she remembered correctly, that was the spring of the year of the Great Exam. They had gone to enjoy the flowers around Bai City, and Chen Banxia was standing in the middle of a peach blossom grove, her face fair and clean, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons when she smiled, with what seemed like stars twinkling inside them, full of youthful spirit, and she was still like that now.

Chen Shu: Chen Banxia, where are you?

Chen Banxia: Ling'an Academy.

Chen Banxia: What's up?

Chen Shu: What are you doing at Ling'an Academy?

Chen Banxia: Suannai is attempting the Seventh Stage, she asked me to watch over her.

Chen Shu: Asked you to watch over her? Why didn't she ask the teachers or leaders in the academy to watch over her? Aren't there many teachers who are from the Sword Sect?

Chen Banxia: Who knows /nose-pick

Chen Shu pondered for a moment, roughly guessing a little.

Chen Shu: There's no danger, right?

Chen Banxia: There shouldn't be.

Chen Shu: Has the attempt finished already?

Chen Banxia: It should be finished.

Chen Shu: Did she succeed?

Chen Banxia: Don't know, eh.

Chen Shu: Is she still unconscious?

Chen Banxia: She just woke up.

"Emmm..."

The attempt was over, she had already woken up, yet it was unknown whether she had succeeded or not; it seemed to indicate that Zhang Suannai's current state was not very clear-headed.

Chen Shu turned his head, wanting to exchange opinions with Qingqing, but saw that Qingqing had been leaning against his shoulder with her head down, not meeting his gaze. He shook his head, not minding, and continued typing.

Chen Shu: Where are you?

Chen Banxia: What do you want to do?

Chen Shu: I haven't seen my dear barrier in a long time, I want to come see you.

Chen Banxia: /dazed

Chen Shu: So where are you?

Chen Banxia: It's rare for you to miss your sister so much, I'll come find you tomorrow.

Chen Shu: No, I'm bringing Qingqing to see you right now.

Chen Banxia: I can't get away right now.

Chen Shu: We'll come find you, you don't need to get away.

Chen Banxia: It's not very convenient.

Chen Shu:...

Chen Banxia sat cross-legged on the ground, a look of confusion on her face.

What the hell is this person doing?

Usually she ignores her younger brother, showing no filial piety, so why is he so eager today?

"Ding ding ding..."

The Mobile Phone vibrated and rang.

He actually called with a video call?

In her memory, the number of times this younger brother had taken the initiative to call her was countable on one hand; it was basically only when he had something to ask her and she hadn't seen his message in time that he would use this method. Usually, even if she sent him a few voice messages, he would be very unhappy.

Chen Banxia glanced at her little sister who was barking like a dog nearby, thought for a moment, and still hung up the phone.

Chen Shu: Why did you hang up? Pick up.

Chen Banxia: It's not convenient.

"Ding ding ding..."

Another voice call.

Chen Banxia hesitated for a moment, feeling that her younger brother was a bit abnormal. After thinking it over repeatedly, she finally answered: "What do you want with me? Why so urgent?"

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a moment.

"Awoo~~"

The little sister leaned directly into her ear:

"Woof woof woof woof!"

Chen Banxia pressed one hand on her face, spread her five fingers, pushed her face away, and continued to ask: "Speak! Did something happen?"

"Awoo awoo~~"

"No."

"If nothing happened, why are you calling me?"

"I just missed you."

"Awoo~ I am a husky!"

"Did you and Qingqing have a fight? Did you break up?" Chen Banxia frowned deeply. Her younger brother's unusual behavior made her a little worried. With a forceful push, she shoved the little sister, who was eagerly expressing herself, onto the sofa.

"No, she is right next to me."

"Then what are you looking for me for? When this call came through, my first reaction was that Dad or Mom had a car accident in Yuanzhou and were hospitalized." Chen Banxia said while glancing at her little sister out of the corner of her eye, seeing her flip over and climb up again, then immediately start crawling all over the room.

Crawling on the floor.

Crawling on the table.

Crawling on the wall.

Crawling on the ceiling.

Calling yourself a husky is an insult to you; what ordinary husky has your skills?

Chen Banxia thought to herself while getting up to follow her, only to hear her younger brother's voice from the phone: "What are you saying? I haven't seen my sister for a long time, I want to show some concern for her recent situation, is it not allowed to give her a call?"

"Then show your concern."

"Emmm..."

"Hey hey, don't eat that! You can't eat it, you can't eat it! And don't bite it! How many people have sat on that!" Chen Banxia stopped Zhang Suannai, who wanted to eat the meditation cushion, and then said to her younger brother on the phone, "Speak, why are you mute?"

"I am! A! Husky! Awoo~"

"Suddenly I don't know what to say again."

"If you don't know what to say, then I'm hanging up." Chen Banxia scratched her head, "I'm busy right now."

"No, I want to hear your voice more."

"Do you have a terminal illness?"

"You're the one with a terminal illness!"

"I am a husky! What are you?" Zhang Suannai tilted her head and stared at Chen Banxia.

"I am your father! Behave yourself!"

"I am a husky!"

Zhang Suannai shook her head and started crawling all over the room again.

Chen Banxia had a massive headache.

She didn't know if this little sister had succeeded in her advancement, but anyway, with her own Fifth Stage cultivation, whether the other was Sixth Stage or Seventh Stage, when she started acting stupid, it was hard for her alone to hold her back.

Truly exhausted both physically and mentally.

By the window on the second floor, two heads, one big and one small, poked out one after another, staring strangely at the swing below.

A burst of manic laughter was coming from there.

"Hahahaha, honk honk... Others are delirious after breaking through, but she sees her true self after breaking through! Forgetting the world, forgetting the self, yet reflecting her true nature—could this be the supreme realm of Sword Heart Clarity?"

"Is it funny?"

"What do you think? Listen..."

"No need."

Ning Qing finally turned her head, looked at him, and said indifferently: "I have something more interesting here."

"..."

Chen Shu's expression stiffened instantly.

He immediately pulled his hand out from her arm, not letting her hold it, and then pushed her to the very edge of the swing, not touching her, to show his dissatisfaction.

That evening.

There was movement in the group chat.

Grandma Always Says: Good evening, everyone.

Seeing this message from her, Chen Shu had an intuition—

This person had successfully advanced to the Seventh Stage.

She was here to show off.

Chen Shu decided to lurk for a while first.

Haoran Zhengqi: Good evening.

Gate of All Wonders: Something up?

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Amitabha.

Beauty with Eight-Pack Abs: Good evening, Senior Sister Suannai /cute.

Grandma Always Says: Nothing, nothing at all.

Grandma Always Says: Good evening, Junior Sister Jiba /cute.

Grandma Always Says: Just missed you all a bit, when are we going out for a meal? My treat.

Seeing this, Chen Shu understood.

She really had succeeded in her advancement.

Haoran Zhengqi:?

Gate of All Wonders:?

Grandma Always Says: Oh right, little Meng.

Grandma Always Says: Didn't you say before that once you advanced to High-Tier, you would start working on revenge against Cao Ci and the Mengyue Sect? When are you starting? My Sword is already getting a bit impatient @Haoran Zhengqi.

Haoran Zhengqi: So.

Gate of All Wonders: You're Seventh Stage?

Grandma Always Says: Oh my!??

Grandma Always Says: How did you see that?

Grandma Always Says: How did you all figure it out so quickly? Sigh, I wasn't originally planning to tell you. Knowing your talent is poor and your cultivation is slow, I didn't know how long it would take for you to reach the Seventh Stage, so I didn't want to provoke you. I just didn't expect you to be a tiny bit smarter than I imagined.

Grandma Always Says: Sorry, sorry, my bad. If I provoked you, I apologize.

Grandma Always Says: /bow

"Tsk tsk..."

Chen Shu could almost imagine her holding her Mobile Phone, grinning foolishly.

This gave him the urge to throw the nuclear bomb he was holding.

"Observe a bit longer."

Just Call Me Luo Huaian: Clown.

Grandma Always Says: What did you say? Want to fight? You still dare to be arrogant with me? Believe it or not, I won't even use my Sword this time; I'll pick up a stick and beat you to a pulp.

Just Call Me Luo Huaian: Clown.

Grandma Always Says: /Just Call Me Luo Huaian: I am a dog.

Grandma Always Says: Can't be bothered to talk to you.

Grandma Always Says: Going out to eat.

Grandma Always Says: Ever since I advanced to the Seventh Stage, my appetite has grown quite a bit, I'm always hungry... Sigh, why am I telling you this, you wouldn't understand anyway.

Haoran Zhengqi: /eating melon seeds

Grandma Always Says: /Haoran Zhengqi: I am a dog.

Gate of All Wonders: /eating melon seeds

Grandma Always Says: /Gate of All Wonders: I am a dog.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: /eating melon seeds

Grandma Always Says: /Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: I am a dog.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha:?

Grandma Always Says: Haha, didn't expect that, did you! I had a classmate help me edit the images!

"Nice work!"

Chen Shu couldn't help but long-press the meme and save it.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: /complex expression

Grandma Always Says: You guys are just jealous.

Grandma Always Says: Oh right, why hasn't that silly Qingcai Keke popped up? It makes me feel like something is missing.

Grandma Always Says: I even edited one for him too.

Grandma Always Says: /Qingcai Keke: I am a dog.

Grandma Always Says: Take it, don't mention it.

"..."

At this moment, who knows how many group members were silent on the surface but secretly saving the memes.

Chen Shu was just about to throw the nuclear bomb.

Reason restrained him—

This person wouldn't stop easily; she would keep showing off, so let her be smug for a while longer.
